Step-by-Step Procedure for an Atir Strap & Beam 72 Install

Design and planning tips
- Assess loads first. Calculate dead load (equipment weight), live load (maintenance access), and environmental loads (wind, snow, seismic). Design to the governing code or manufacturer tables.
- Match materials to environment. Use stainless or hot-dipped galvanized hardware in corrosive or coastal locations.
- Choose anchors for substrate. Wood rafters accept heavy lag bolts; concrete needs wedge or epoxy anchors; steel needs through-bolts or welds.
- Span and spacing. For a “72” layout, determine whether 72 inches is the span between supports or the cumulative run—adjust strap spacing to keep deflection and load per strap within limits.
- Allow access. Route straps and beams so inspections and future removals are straightforward.
- Follow torque and fastening specs. Over- or under-tightening reduces capacity; use calibrated torque wrenches and locking hardware where vibration is present.
